'''Square Enix Era'''
* ''[[Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light]]'' (2010) - A downloadable [[Gaiden Game]] with online co-op. The game is a third person 3D rendered isometric platformer/action title with puzzle elements. It is the only game in the series ''not'' to have ''Tomb Raider'' in the title.
* ''[[Tomb Raider (2013)| Tomb Raider]]'' (2013) - Yet another reboot of the series. It follows a young Lara, trapped on a Pacific island [[Survival Horror|mostly alone and without any supplies]] and takes a hard turn toward [[Darker and Edgier]]. Heavy on [[Press X to Not Die]] and wild [[Gameplay and Story Segregation]] in regards to Lara's character, causing her to be crying about having taken human life one moment and be an emotionless killer during gameplay immediately after. Square-Enix infamously deemed its 3.4 million copies sold "disappointing", presumably due to an absurd budget <ref>While the budget numbers were never released, ''Rise of the Tomb Raider'' is known to have cost 110–135 million USD to produce and market despite reusing the engine.</ref>. Due to a long lifespan in reduced price digital sales and a few re-releases on newer consoles, these numbers reached '''14.5 million''' at the time Eidos was sold in 2022, and the new owner doesn't anticipate them stopping.
* ''[[
** ''Lara Croft and the Frozen Omen'' (2014-2015) - A comic that finishes off the sub-series.
* ''[[
* ''[[Shadow of the Tomb Raider]]'' (September 14, 2018) - Is the sequel to ''Rise of the Tomb Raider'' and takes place in Mexico and Central America. Notably includes a playable flashback sequence depicting Lara at 11 years old, showing her to have been an adventurous daredevil even then.
'''THQ Nordic Era'''
Line 230 ⟶ 233:
** Let's not forget Crocodiles in Greece as well, or the fact that these animals have lived for centuries with no food in enclosed spaces.
** But the Blue Ribbon goes to the ''Velociraptors'' and ''T-Rex'' that live in, of all places, ''the frozen Peruvian mountains.'' And China. And Polynesia.
* [[Modesty Shorts]]: 11 year old Lara in ''Shadow of the Tomb Raider'', electing for short black spats rather than a [[Mythology Gag]].
* [[Mook Horror Show]]: Lara can polish off entire armies of trained mercenaries by herself.
* [[More Dakka]]: As Lara's signature weapons are her dual Pistols the dual Uzis essentially function as this for her character (and were used almost as much as the pistols in earlier art for the series). Also, while other weapons had higher overall damage output the mix and agility and damage the Uzi's offered made them the overall best weapon of the first couple of games, although they were overshadowed by other weapons from ''Tomb Raider III'' onwards. Due to being a remake, ''Anniversary'' did give them some extra limelight again.
